The experience

The boat leaves San Antonio and makes five stops, each one a chance to snorkel, paddle surf or simply swim. Cala Bassa holds the main draw: a cave carved into the cliff that opens only to the water, so you enter it by boat and swim inside. The other stops (Cala Comte, Cala Tarida, Cala Gració and Port des Torrent) are quieter beaches where you can work with the paddle board or drift in the shallows with a mask. The guide speaks English or Spanish and sets the pace. You choose how long to stay at each cove.

Snorkeling gear and a paddle board are yours for the day. Refreshments stay cold on board: water and soft drinks throughout, plus beer, wine and cava for anyone over 18. The boat runs on a seven-hour loop, so the timing depends on which departure you pick: morning, afternoon or sunset. Fuel, all entry fees and taxes are covered in the price.

Small groups mean you're not crammed in with dozens of other swimmers. The atmosphere stays relaxed. There's no rushing between stops or a fixed schedule that leaves you watching the clock. If you want to linger at one cove or skip another, the guide adjusts.
